My Riffs

It’s a simple thing, but it does so much. Get outside, get a little sunshine. Go for a little walk. Simple and highly effective. 

It’s on the sender to make sure the communication is clear.  The communicator has to make sure the message is clear and received.  The art of communicating requires practice and refinement. Good communicators often practice and learn how to get better at it. It’s a practice well worth it.  

The work you do when nobody’s watching is what really matters. Because it shows what your constitution is.

Making friends usually requires being friendly. And being friendly means being warm and inviting.  It’s no easy task getting along with a cold person. Be warm and you’ll attract friendships. 

This phrase gets misused and misunderstood too much.  Some use it as licence to be their worst self. Others use it to be unwise with words or actions cause it’s just who they are. Wise people take it to mean be your best self, and don’t be nervous about what you’re not. Only you can be you, so be the best you and don’t worry about being just like someone else. 

How do you keep your thinking straight? Talk to and listen to other people and opinions.  Be willing to admit you’re wrong.  Be willing to change your opinion.  Don’t be afraid.
